23:13•Greg Quetin

Yeah, Joe, I think it's on question 12. You laid that out. Thank you.

24:51 – 25:37•Greg Quetin

In kind of a similar vein, Joey, the answer to 12, I think, is a clear description of kind of how it gets to the precipice of the COP. But you were describing that internal process. I'm wondering... Cause I think sometimes this comes up because we don't have much insight into that internal process. And I realize it's kind of a, you know, there's how that final decision gets made might not be, you know, based on some algebra equation. Yeah, no. But my kind of question in this was just, I was just out of just curiosity, like how, if there's any kind of like a broader concept for how those, those

27:18 – 27:51•Greg Quetin

Great. I'm always curious. Um, I had one other one L if it's all right. Um, the, in the 2027 sidewalk repair project line item in the CFP, it just has the 500,000 for 2027. Um, and then nothing, but is that, is that, uh,

29:59•Greg Quetin

Okay, great. So the intention is still there. It's just the projects aren't quite prime time for CFP. Great.

38:58 – 39:18•Greg Quetin

Joey, I think it might be more that perhaps the ongoing maintenance would be less, right? If you could reduce the vehicle miles traveled across the system by 10% or something like that, then that would change the model a little bit for how fast the wear happens.

40:20 – 40:34•Greg Quetin

I just, on this topic, I had one, um, quick clarification is the, so there's the pavement management report that includes some of these projections. Is that, are those projections the same thing as the pavement management model? Are you taking this?

40:38•Greg Quetin

Okay. And that, that model is all part of the report. Not, not like something separate the arc.

1:03:49•Greg Quetin

Yeah, I think you did that. I'm trying to remember whether it happened in all the comprehensive plan chaos, but in past years, yeah.

1:08:14•Greg Quetin

Exciting. Probably the first only in-person meeting since I've been on the Planning Commission.
